Art has some great advice. I'll add to to some 3-D shoots. You don't have to compete, and if you aren't competeing you won't have to shoot from a stake if you aren't comfortable with the range. This is another way to get used to shooting in the woods, and judging distance on deer-sized targets. Practice under the same conditions you plan to hunt in--if you from a stand, practice from a stand; if you hunt from a blind, shoot from a blind; if you have to wear a heavy coat and face mask, well........you get the idea.

Unless your bow is very much out of the ordinary, the 2216's are going to be way too stiff, especially with 100 grain points. I'm not up to date on aluminum spines, so I can't tell you what would work--sorry.
